Now heres something I can talk about. When I was a young lad, I used to come home from school, kick out a bowl of Doritos and watched the afternoon episodes of PR. The essence and suspense it had on a young kid like me was awesome. My most favorite part of any show was when the Megazords came out to kick some major butt.

Overall, I watched PR up until the end of PR: In Space, when Zordon died . But I'd admit it, I cried, because I was that dedicated to the show. The shows after In Space, just got boring and plain, IMO. I mean there could be no storyline better than the Green Ranger Saga! And the Forever Red episode was also electrifying.

Zordon died at the end of PR In Space, because Zordon said it was the only way to destroy all evil in the universe, so he got Andros (the red ranger) to destroy him. That meant the Machine Empire, Lord Zedd, Rita and the rest of the villains were destroyed. But shockingly, Lord Zedd and Rita turned out to be regular people.

Dang. He was cool, and that stuff with the ooze guy (?) in the movie was sad enough.

Also, I wish I'd seen the transition episodes for the first to second series. All I remember is one scene from the second episode where the T-rex was the last giant robot left. It's either selective-memory bias, or the first series really is a heck of a lot better than the ones today.

BTW, what is with them when they transform and move around a lot. For example, when they talk, they shake their heads. I have always wondered why they do that.

For the reason given above and, since you can't see their faces/bodies, you can't really see the emotion/body language that you normally would when talking to someone. The "way to animated" body language is to help express the feelings (typically urgency or pain) that the character's are feeling.

Which, mind you, did not destroy all the evil in the universe, as we've seen in future seasons (and the fact that Cleveland still exists). Not to say that Zordon's sacrifice was useless, for it did save the world from the major threat at the time (and it wasn't pretty)...

Does anyone have the breakdown of how many Power Rangers there have been in each series?

A lot?

Seriously, thanks to Rovang.org's Writer's guide to the PR Universe (and a little help from my memory, as the guide is offically kaput), here ya go.

Season One: Mighty Morphing Power Rangers:
Red: Jason
Pink: Kimberly
Black: Zack
Blue: Billy
Yellow: Trini (who died a few years ago in a car wreck because she wasn't wearing her seat belt)
Green: Tommy

Season Seven: Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy
Red: Mike, Leo
Blue: Kai
Yellow: Maya
Pink: Kendrix, Karone (who took over for Kendrix for the last few episodes while the actor who played Kendrix was out for cancer treatment)
Green: Damon

Note, this list doesn't include previous Rangers who show up for one or two episodes to help (or get help) from the current Ranger team (unless they get a new costume and become a part of the team), nor does this include the various evil/Psycho Rangers, Robot/Cyborg Rangers, or whatever other "fake" rangers there may have beenat one point or another. Also not included are Non-Rangers, like Turbo's Blue Senturion (who was a robot), Lost Galaxy's Magna Defender (who was both himself an unknown warrior and Mike, the former Red Galaxy Ranger), The Ninja Turtles (who showed up with their "sister" in a couple of episodes during Space), or the Masked Rider (who made an appearance to help start his show back during the Mighty Morphing era).
